But, if Israel steps up to dance, IRAQ may punch at us too. There more than likely are sleeper units place here already waiting for the signal?

I think everybody is just going to let IRAQ install these fuel rods and just complain about it. Attacking them would be a horrific deal. Israel and IRAQ would loose a quite a few folks plus, what would amount to complete infrastructure destruction for both.

I suspect that MUSIBIKE means Iran (not Iraq) in his comment.
Former US Ambassador to the UN Mr Bolton gives the scenario of an attack window open until 21 Aug '10. That is when the Russians are to install the nuclear fuel into the Bashear reactor on the Persian Gulf coast of Iran.

The plot goes on to say that the Israeli Airforce will strike before the fuel is installed so little harm is done to civilians. Personally I don't see that happening with the US leftist pro-islamic regime in power. The element of surprise is gone too.

There is a third possibility that no one talks about. If the nuclear power plant in operation is revealled to be producing Plutonium it may be targetted by a nuclear cruise missile from out of the blue. A wind from the South would carry fallout toward Tehran and Russia. Gee, what a shame !!! August is a good month for nukes but after the US November elections is a more likely time frame.
